Open position for a postdoctoral fellowship in metabolic regulation of genome in leukemia.
Project Information
Although metabolism was once thought to be a byproduct of cell identity, during the past ten years, there has been mounting evidence that metabolism actively influences cell destiny decisions. Chromatin regulation systems are sensitive to and impacted by the metabolism in their immediate surroundings, much like all other biological events. This metabolic–chromatin regulation allows cells to adjust to changes in food supply and environmental stimuli. Furthermore, there is genetic and epidemiological data that suggests cancer and other disorders are caused by a cell’s inability to adapt to changes in nutrition. We examine two main facets of how nuclear metabolism controls genomic activities within the framework of the NUCLEAR network. Firstly, we will assess if chromatin and disease-relevant gene regulation are affected by metabolic alterations linked to leukemia.
